Let's divide 177369 by 72
Our goal is to divide 177369 by 72.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 72

Step 2:
When dividing 17 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 177 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 177 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 144 away from 177, we end up with 33.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 333 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
72 can be fit into 333 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 288 from 333.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 456 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
72 goes into 456 6 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 246.0
Subtracting 432 from 456 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 249 / 72

On to step 6:
If we divide 249 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2463.0
If we take 216 away from 249, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2463.4
If we take 288 away from 330, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2463.45
Subtracting 360 from 420 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2463.458
If we subtract 576 from 600, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2463.4583
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2463.45833
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2463.45833 with a remaining 2.4e-05.
